Simple Tire has them today for $163 and change each, set of 4 with free ship and of course sales tax. Then mounting.
That would be $220.33 Canadian Dollars
I've bought tires from Simple Tire, when they were the cheapest source. They aren't always, but about the only place I've found to beat them lately is Walmart, and then not by much. Maybe you're thinking of a different place. I've never noticed their attempts are financing.Simple Tire is far from the cheapest place to buy tires. They, in essence, have no inventory and source tires, very much behind the scene, as they are sold. Their forte is financing the tires they sell and they market to people to whom that is important.
Were those the Goodyear Endurance? What size are they? If you opt for higher rated tires, make sure your wheels will handle the additional pressure.

I do not see a 20% margin on an item that most only need to purhcase every 3-4 years to be high. The grocery buissiness with similar margins has net profit of 1%... And people need to purchase groceries constantly.I don’t see how you could miss their financing offers but that’s on you.
Prior to my retirement, I sold tires to Simple Tire. I will say, they bought mostly our “deals” but our margin, selling to them, was in excess of 20%. If you can’t find many sources that are less expensive than Simple Tire, well, I guess, that is on you too.
IME. this concern is overblown. I have upgraded LRs on all 4 of my coaches since 1991, without any such issues.Are the higher rated tire with higher pressures harder on the axles and the RV in general?
Thanks,

This is often brought up by naysayers, but never by anyone that has actually done it.
That's great news. I intend to do it, I was just curious to hear from someone that has experience with the higher rated tires, like you. Thanks,
We had sidewall failure on two of our Goodyear tires (within 12 miles of each other) after just 1500 miles. We had all 4 replaced on the side of the road with Carlisle, E rated tires. So far not a problem, but I will go to higher rated tires when I replace the Carlisle tires.

I look at like this: Up until about 10 years ago I never, ever paid any attention to the date stamp on a tire, in fact didn't even know there was one. I kept cars for at least 10 years, still do AFATG, and rarely put enough miles on them to buy new tires. So I figure I had very old tires on all of my cars, and rarely had any issues. Yeah, I figure newer tires are better than older tires, but the two worst sets of tires I ever had were about 3 years old. So I don't worry much about it.![]()
Absolutely cannot argue with that!I pretty much agree. but with Saliun having some issues when they moved production to Vietnam. I would not want to take the chance that the older tires came from that period of time
